Betrayal

A judge and a jury,much shame and disgrace
A tale of deceit,and lies in this place

What brought him here,a man of his word?
Has often been told,and so often heard

A web of diversions,secrets and such
Promises and pledges,that meant near as much

Money and power,famous friends and indeed
Integrity sacrificed ,to satisfy greed

I guess I would know,for I was but one
Of those on the inside,and as dear as a son

Great trust and respect,and honor had he
Such good friends we were,until he tried to kill me
